These are not the usual C-A-G-E-D patterns, but rather they are shown in “fretboard order,” from the lowest notes of the fretboard up to the highest, for each of the keys. This is so you can use them to make “runs” up or down the fretboard. You can also easily slide consecutively from one pattern into the next higher, or down to the next lower pattern.
